The Black Corsair

Emilio Salgari was much m ace than a mere 'Italian Verne', he created the genre of adventures in Italian from foreign models that he knew how to adapt to the taste of his compatriots, enhancing the operatic aspects, for example, and at the same time enriched the genre with muy personal contributions. Salgari's heroes may be outside the law, but they tenaciously defend las ideas of freedom and justice and generosity to create a mythological literature of value.
